Abstract

This Note examines the effectiveness of a regional policy centered around offering discounted vouchers to tourists. It specifically studies the case of Sicily, which, unlike other Italian regions, implemented this policy between 2021 and 2023 in response to the aftermath of the Covid-19 shock. Difference-in-differences estimates reveal that this intervention has failed to significantly affect tourism.
